    MAGIC IN THE NAMES.It came as a surprise to learn that decoding many of these very oldnames was straight-forward, be it time-consuming. The names were allagglutinated according to the VCV formula, but the words of the spokenlanguage were not formulaically constructed. To agglutinate thesenames, the Egyptian priests used only those words of the neolithicSaharan language, which started with vowel-consonant-vowel (VCV). Theancient Saharan language may have been the language in popular useduring the first two dynasties and after that was probably maintained as

    a liturgical or secret language. It still is spoken in close to its originalcondition as Basque in Europe. Aulestia's Basque Dictionary (Universityof Nevada Press) was used for both decoding and translating. In thename-assembly process the priests stuck religiously to the VCV vowel-interlocking formula. In general, every consonant represents one word.The same formulaic name-encoding system was used in unaltered formthroughout Egyptian history. Names such as Rosetta, Pharaoh, Nileand Egypt may be relatively recent name creations, but they still yieldtheir hidden meanings in the same manner the very earliest Pharaohs'names. It appears that all personal names have two meanings, the

    publicly known one and the secret one, which meanings may not be thesame or even closely so. The VCV system is designed to decode thesecret meaning of the name, which may or may not have been divulgedto the bearer.

    Rosetta.ro - ose - et. - .ta

    ero - ose - ete - etaerotegi - ozen - etengabeko - -eta

    insane asylum - penetrating (voice/cry) - incessant - overpowering"The incessant penetrating (screams) from the insane asylum

    are overpowering."

    The scribes creating the inscriptions gave themselves appropriatenames such as:Nesmeterakhem, son of Nesmeterpanakhet at the time of Hadrian, AD117-38 (Parkinson p.178)

    my - symbols - fanciful - continuous - saying/epigram - traditional - burial

    chambre - gift"My fanciful symbols (form) a continuous epigram,a gift for the traditional burial chambre."

    His father, Nesmeterpanakhet, used the same introductory sentence,then adds:

    .pa - ana - ak. - .he - et.apa - ana - ako - ohe - ete

    apaindu - anaia - akordiozko - ohetoki - etengabetasunto make up - religious brother - traditional - burial chambre - in

    perpetuity"My fancyful symbols (form) a continuous epigram,made up for the religious brother's traditional burial chambre in

    perpetuity."

    THE ROSETTA STONE.

    In contrast to the VCV method used to agglutinate names, the Egyptians'writings on stone, papyrus etc. made use of all words in the ancientvocabulary, as shown here in a sentence borrowed from the Rosettastone. Parkinson in his book "Cracking Codes, the Rosetta Stone andDecipherment" (p. 54) supplies us with the pronounciation of the

    transliteration of the last sentence on the Rosetta Stone. I show thecorresponding Basque words and my translation underneath (English'sh' = Basque 'x'):

    Rosetta: her ahay neti aatrudj em sechBasque: herrikatu ahaide netik atxirudipetu eman sekretuEnglish: proclamation - our people - from this date on - stone - tosymbolize - the above - secret scriptTranslation:"Proclamation to our people. From this date on the

    stone will symbolize the above in the secret script

    of the Goddess in intelligent secret writing in great andabundant detail in this important place."

    My translation differs considerably from the translation shown byParkinson in his book which reads:

    "Upon a stela of hard stone in hieroglyphic writing, in demoticwriting, and in the script of the Aegians".

    WHO MADE UP THE TITLE "PHARAOH"?

    The title "pharaoh", more accurately spelled "faraoh", is no Egyptianinvention because it is appropriate for males only:

    .fa - ara - a.o - oh.afa - ara - aho - oha

    afa - aragikeria - ahokatu - ohaidepleasing - fornication - to engage in - concubine

    "Engaged in pleasing fornication (with a) concubine".

    Otto Muck in "Cheops et la Grande Pyramide" (1978) p.114, claims thatthe Shepherd Philitis brought the title to Egypt from the north, witnessStonehenge in England. Diop calls this an insipid notion. Pharaoh is anagglutinated title, likely of Latin origin; neither the Egyptians nor Greekspronounced the 'ph' as 'f'.

    Nile.ni - ileuni - ile

    unibertsal - ilezkoruniversal - immortal

    "Universal and immortal".

    Pyramid.pi - ira - ami - id.epi - ira - ami - ide

    FIRST DYNASTY. (c.3100-2890 B.C.)

    (The dates of the dynasties are taken from "Who were the Pharaohs?" byStephen Quirke, Dover Publications, 1990.). A few of the following namescan hardly be called names because they sound like warnings to scareoff tomb robbers. Likely a case of mistaken identity.

    "We honor his service for the set time period. He persevered

    The "set time period" for a king who had participated in the "SacredMarriage" was usually seven and a half years fromMay 1 until his death on November 1. He reigned as a semi-god, thebridge between the people and the deity, and whenhis time was up he was sacrificed by drowning in the waves, possibly inone of the Cataracts. This was also practiced in

    Sekhemib. The name tells us that this was a queen, not a king as isstated. Archaeologists have long wondered why she abandonned her

    allegiance to the god Horus and switched to Set. Her name tells us why.The name should be spelled:

    Sekhem - ib because the vowel-interlocking is interrupted..se - ek. - .he - em. ' ib.

    inevitable/fated - fragile - to loose weight - time spent in bed - queen -wise

    "Fated to be fragile and losing weight, our wise queen spent hertime in bed."

    Cheops. This is the Latin spelling because neither Egyptian nor Greekpossesses the 'c'. The name should be spelled: Keops, the 'h' had to beadded when the 'k' was changed to 'c' otherwise the name would have

    been pronounced Seops. Therefore the 'h' was added much later anddoes not belong in the name translation.

    Keops.ke - e.o - op. - .s.

    ake - eho - opa - asaakela - ehortzetak - opakuntza - asabaGoddess - funeral - offering - ancestor

    "The Goddess' funeral offering to the ancestors".

    This translation tells us that Keops cannot have been the name of the

    pharaoh but instead must have been the name of the Great Pyramiditself. The most impressive stone building, ever constructed, was notbuilt as the tomb for just one king, but instead for all the people. Themighty sarcophagus always stands open and was intended to beavailable for all the beloved departed of the world. Strabo in his"Geographica" tells about a stone in the side of the pyramid which maybe taken out. Petrie interpreted this statement to mean that there was aflap-door composed of a single slab of stone (Edwards). It could havebeen there to allow access to the sarcophagus for the funerals of thepeople. This explains why the great pyramid has no decorations to showscenes of the dead pharaoh's life. The huge sarcophagus was never

    intended for the pharaoh alone, although it is possible that he was thefirst one to use it. His real grave may yet be found, hidden deep underthe pyramid, where his personal life would have been depicted on thewalls. If this is indeed the case, the grave will likely be found intact.Herodotus tells about subterranean chambres where vaults wereconstructed on an island, surrounded by water brought from the Nile bytunnel. On this island, he was told, the body of Khufu lies. Nothing ofthat description has ever been found. It is interesting that a Japanese

    expedition has recently found evidence of just such undergroundcaverns while sounding the underlying rock with sophisticatedequipment.The name "Akela'', meaning Goddess, is still used in many Indo-European languages but now means 'witch', a meaning-change enforced

    by the Christian and Judaic clergy. As male domination throughout thefollowing millennia has made every effort to eliminate the memory ofthe Great Goddess, this is likely the reason why the spelling of the nameKeops was changed to Cheops, to hide the '.ke' of 'ake'.

    Khufu. This must be the real name of the "great pharaoh" Keopsbecause Khufu'khaf was the name of his son who died in infancy. Thefinal letters 'ufu' are untranslatable therefore an interruption of thevowel-interlocking must be assumed. The 'f' is interchangeable with 'b':
